Row Unit Parts and Attachments

The John Deere family of spindles is the most efficient, high-quality, precision-manufactured spindles available today.

Pro-XL™ Spindles

Specially designed for use in John Deere's PRO-SERIES™ Cotton Pickers, but compatible with any picker that uses the mini spindle, Pro-XL spindles offer the same features of conventional spindles, plus they:

Provide superior performance and last up to 50 percent longer than conventional spindles, reducing maintenance costs

Are designed to operate in harsh picking conditions

Ensure lower operating temperatures and longer gear life due to chrome-nickel plating

Encourage clean, aggressive picking and easy doffing

Part Number: N277078 (Right-hand spindle)

Spindle Assembly

John Deere spindle assemblies are factory assembled using John Deere components.

The pump provides a timesaving solution for lube-tank refilling. Utilizing the lube tank Quik-Fill™ nozzles, the pump takes lubrication oil from any standard storage tank and pumps it into the lube tank located on the operator’s platform.

Part Number: BN272262 (Lubricator transfer pump)

Scrapping plates

The John Deere family of spindles is the most efficient, high-quality, precision-manufactured spindles available today.

Scrapping plates, in combination with accurately calibrated pressure doors, help ensure a more efficient harvest.

Scrapping plates are designed with ridges to allow the tip of the spindle to pass through the low points of the ridges

The high points of the ridges push cotton farther onto the spindle

The further cotton is pushed onto the spindle, the more likely the cotton will be fully harvested and transferred into the basket or accumulator

Part Number: BN272408 (Scrapping plates for 1-row PRO-16TM unit)

Part Number: BN272418 (Scrapping plates for 1-row PRO-12TM or VariRow System (VRSTM) unit)

Vine Cutters

Vine cutters enhance the ability to pick through vines and weedy areas without plugging row-units.
